FAQs

What is the maximum panel thickness the HM-S can accommodate?

The Fischer HM-S is designed to work with panel thicknesses ranging from 3 mm to 50 mm.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a drill, and either installation pliers, a screwdriver, or a cordless screwdriver.

Can I reuse the HM-S anchor?

Yes, due to the metric internal thread, the attachment can be removed and refitted multiple times.

What materials are the HM-S anchors made from?

The HM-S anchors are made of metal.

What is the drill hole diameter needed for the HM-S?

The required drill hole diameter is 1.2 cm.

Can I use the HM-S in solid walls?

No, the HM-S is designed for use in hollow walls and panel building materials such as plasterboard and gypsum fiberboard, not for solid walls like concrete or brick.

Troubleshooting

Anchor spins in the hole during tightening.

Ensure the drill hole is the correct diameter (12mm). If the hole is too large, the anchor may not grip properly. Check for obstructions behind the wall.

Attached item feels loose after installation.

Check if the anchor is fully expanded behind the wall. If not, try tightening the screw further (but avoid over-tightening). Consider using a larger anchor if the item is heavy or the wall material is weak.

Anchor won't expand.

Make sure you are pulling the anchor tight with the pliers or using a screwdriver correctly. Verify that nothing is blocking the expansion arms behind the wall.

Pros and Cons

  • High load-bearing capacity due to expanding arms.
  • Suitable for a wide range of panel thicknesses.
  • Allows for removal and refitting of attachments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation:
  • Determine the correct drill hole diameter (12mm) based on the anchor's specifications.
  • Select the appropriate HM-S anchor length based on the panel thickness.
  1. Installation:
  2. Drill the hole in the wall.
  3. Insert the HM-S anchor into the hole.
  4. If using installation pliers, use them to pull the anchor tight against the wall. Alternatively, use a screwdriver or cordless screwdriver after removing the pre-assembled screws.
  5. The expanding arms will deploy and secure the anchor. If using a screwdriver, make sure the attachment is used as a turning stop.
  6. Attach the item with the provided metric screw.
  7. Compatibility:
  • Compatible materials include gypsum plasterboard, gypsum fibreboards, cavity floor slabs, and light building boards.
  • Not suitable for solid walls (concrete, brick).
  1. Care:
